Welcome to my ask blog! My name is SilverSpin, though you can call me Silver for short. I'm a jewelry maker that lives near Colterado Springs in a town called Darkwood. Don't be shy to ask anything you'd like!
I'm really sorry guys. I do this to you literally every single time, and while I'd like to think that while usually your patience is rewarded, it won't be this time.
As you can probably tell, this last update has been killing me, and while I only have two panels left to draw, I just can't do it they way I have been. The shading especially so. So while I'll probably keep the completed panels the way they are, from this point on everything's gonna look a lot more simple.
Again, I'm really sorry. Thanks everyone who's stuck by despite the lack of anything.
And don't worry, I'm keeping track of how many EA pages I owe you all (Four if I remember correctly) and now that I have livestream working, I'm planning on doing some stream art giveaways (provided there's any interest).

I used painting practice as an excuse to make some gift art for the awesome Operetta! I adore her singing, and I'm personally really excited to see if we'll find out what her cutie mark will be!
Please keep rocking out dear, you're wonderful!
(Also I'm sorry I made her eyes green, I know they're yellow, but I couldn't get the painting to co-operate with me, so the green eyes stayed)
~
Painting Details:
Approx 2.5 hours (2 hours Operetta, 30 min background)
1 layer + Background
2 brushes
Made in FireAlpaca
Quote from Where Soul meets Body, Death Cab for Cutie
{Terribly sorry about the week’s silence, guys! A whole mess of things happened all at once, from getting a new tablet to the release of New Leaf, and I've been a tad overwhelmed with it all! So to reward your patience while I work on the second half of the last update, here's a practice painting of Silver playing AC:NL!}
Dislikes: Banging into things, Ponies playing with her loom, Attempts to shortchange artists
Appearance
Gender: Female (Mare)
Height: Short
Pony Type: Unicorn
Mane: Pink to Red-Orange (4 shades); Unclassifiable
Coat: Golden Yellow
Eyes: Apple Green
Cutie Mark: Interlocking Grey Strips
Extra: Blue barrette, Dark Blue Hoop/cuff earrings, often a sticky bandage or two. Left Ear has a small tear.
Relations:
Running Stitch: Boss
Silk Thread: Coworker
Questions Answered:
None
Trivia:
It’s thought that her mane and tail exist primarily in a dimension beyond the third. This is not proven nor supported, but it would explain a couple things. Sort of.
The constant band-aids are warranted by a combination of clumsiness, stubbornness, and, on occasion, the good-ol’-fashioned brawl.
Her hair seems to change colors at random, though it follows a few rules - the four colors are always the same, always represented, and parts of the same color never touch. We tried to figure out why and couldn’t think of anything remotely possible.
Introduced Goldie to Taiyaki.
Her hair can be made to “behave”, though it usually involves hours of work and copious amounts of faith.
Part 1 of the Floral Jewelry Solution, in which we discover that not only is Silver an emotional "rubber band", but that her hair is partially influenced by her emotions. As for summoning motion lines and transparent punctuation, that's Ginge's fault.
Also, the 'background text' in the second panel is just random frustrations Silver has experienced trying to make metal flowers. Normally the pieces she works with have a bit of thickness to them, but the petals she tried to work with are very thin, and thus have created a slew of new problems that she normally doesn't deal with.
And I am so sorry about that fourth panel face. I can't do realization properly.}

AGH SHE'S SO PERFECT!!! Thank you so much, and she looks wonderful in braids! *melts from happiness*
If anyone following me is not following ponydipity, do so, do so now! She is awesome and her characters are the bomb and her art is wonderful and her streams are lovely and chillaxed and all in all she is a prettymuch perfect person.
Okay, so because next update is planned to be fairly big (2 parts and 3 new characters, oh goodness), it's taking me a solid bit of time. So here's something to tide you over for the weekend!
Every Friday or so, I'll try to put up a new page in the Encyclopedia. These pages will cover ponies, places, and any plot summaries that pertain to this blog! While some of these pages may seem a bit empty at first, as more information is revealed, older pages will be updated with the known information.
The Pages will be initially set to private with a link on the main Encyclopedia page, then set to public after a day, just to avoid dash clutter. They will also be tagged for easy tracking/blacklisting.
Anyway, the first page is Silver's sister, GoldenString! We're starting with her because otherwise we might never see her.
Dislikes: Bitter food, Getting things stuck in her mane, Hurtful rumors, Drunk perverts
Appearance
Gender: Female (Mare)
Height: Very Tall
Pony Type: Earth Pony
Mane: Yellow (4 Shades); Curly
Coat: Light Blue-Green
Eyes: Green
Cutie Mark: Black and White Harp with Yellow strings
Extra: White shoes, thin white shawl, amber shawl pin, red amber earrings
Relations:
SilverSpin: Sister
Running Stitch: Father
Evergreen: Mother
Spectra: Friend/Coworker
Questions Answered:
None
Trivia:
Has a Taiyaki pan and often makes them for weekend breakfasts
Once filled in for second chair harp for the Manehatten Philharmonic Orchestra through a lucky series of events, timing, and generally being in the right place at the right time.
Her shawl and earrings are gifts from her family - her mother found the amber pieces, her sister polished them and assembled the earrings, and her father wove the shawl.
Often has her hair color changed by her unicorn coworker Spectra in order to match the theme of the bar she sings in. And sometimes just for fun.
{It's been a wonderful first week, thank you so much to the people and ponies who have asked questions and to my ten followers!
Also a huge thanks to Em and Morgan (the mods of Deagle and Fisheyes' blogs respectively) for reblogging the fanart and the sweet comments on it. You guys rock!
Here's to hopefully many more days of answers and jewelry!}

A: You can request a jewelry design from Silver for a character - like commissioning an actual jeweler for a piece of jewelry.
~
Q: You said "commission" up there - do these cost money?
A: No, they are free, hence the title requests. However, please bear in mind that while I will attempt to complete everyone's requests quickly, depending on how many requests I have, it may take up to a week.
~
Q: How long will it take for you to finish my request?
A: It entirely depends on how many requests I have to work through to get to yours, as well as how complex your design is. It usually won't take me more than a few days.
~
Q: What do I need to include in my request?
A: I'll need to know a couple of things:
1. What type of jewelry - obviously if you wanted a bracelet and I draw earrings, you won't be happy.
2. What character the jewelry is for - Right now I'm only taking jewelry requests for Pony OCs. You can request for another person's character if your character will gift it to the requested character (If you have a character Jack and request for a character named Jill, the jewelry should be given to Jill by Jack).
3. Any specifics or themes you'd like me to follow. These can be as simple as "use gold as the metal" to a complete description of what you want drawn.
Bear in mind, the fewer specifics given, the more personal choices I have to make, so your piece may not look quite how you wanted it. I'm sorry about this.
~
Q: Do I have to be following you to request jewelry?
A: Nope, you don't have to follow me to request anything!
~
Q: Can I request more than one item?
A: You may only request one jewelry item at one time. However, once the first request has been completed, you may request another. There are currently no limits as to the total items you may request, though I may change this at any time.
~
Q: Wow, this is really cool! Can I repost it?
A: You may not repost it - you can reblog it to your heart's content though.
~
Q: I don't really want this jewelry anymore. Can I sell it?
A: NO. Do NOT resell any of the jewelry requested for any form of currency. You are also forbidden from claiming any of the art as your own. You may not claim to have created the design, though you may give it away for free or change it slightly for personal use. You may not trade it for anything other than another jewelry design. You may not sell edited designs.
~
Q: Gosh, I really hate this design! Can you redo it for me?
A: Yes, but you will not be the top of the list. You may request a new design while I'm creating your redo. I will only work on one of your redos at a time.
~
Q: I saw what you designed for so-and-so. Can I have one just like it (translation; identical)?
A: If they don't mind sharing the design, sure. Otherwise, no - I can design it with the same overall theme/look, but it will not be the same.
~
Q: I'm a bit confused, Can you explain this...?
A: Sure! Tell me what 's confusing or what you think should be rewritten! I'm not very good at communicating, so any feedback is helpful! I'll be happy to clarify anything I can.
~
Q: My question's not on here! What should I do?
A: Ask me anyway! If many people ask me the same question, I'll add it to this FAQ, so don't be shy if there's something you want to know!
I can make bracelets, hoof cuffs, earrings, necklaces and tail cuffs in these styles as well! I can also make mane and tail decorations (barrettes, pins, etc.), but only "solid metal". I can try to make a pendant in chainmaille, but metal ones are much easier. That's all I can think of off the top of my head, since that's what I make the most.
So tell me: Would you like something made?
{With this, jewelry requests are open! You do not have to be following me to request one, but right now I'll only take them for pony OCs. They are free, but be aware - you are not receiving a real jewelry piece. Shoot off an ask/message with a description of what you want and the name of the character it's for (you may ask for a character not your own if it's going to be a gift from one to the other).
You may not make an anonymous jewelry request. I may ask you for more information or clarification if there's not enough information. You may use the design as yours, but I would really appreciate if I'm given credit for the design. The design art itself may not be used or republished as your creation.
It was said that she could trace her family back to the Coltic Tribes and list off all the generations between, but Mom's convinced that the second half is just an exaggeration. I owe her just about everything.

Sometimes there are concerts and shows that come to town, and I'll try to go to those if I've got the time. There's also The City, but it has just about everything that you could find in town, only busier.

{Sorry for the messy text! My handwriting can be illegible at times. 'The City' is how locals in Darkwood, Silver's hometown, refer to Colterado Springs. It's the closest city to there and is only 15 minutes on the tram. It's not very large, and compares to Manehatten the way Boston would to NYC.}
